Good Stuff
By Alexia on 06/16/2010
Follow the directions, and it works. My drain fly/moth problem was horrific, though - literally thousands of them in my bathroom at a time. I opted to use the whole bottle night after night instead of leaving some for the once a month thing. I have *very few* bugs left, so I may buy some more, but overall this takes care of the problem.

Easy Peasy

Worked like a charm
By Liz on 08/23/2010
This product worked like a charm. The trick is finding the right drain or source of the flies. We were about to spend thousands of dollars to rip out plumbing and try to find the source of these pests. We started to see results in 2 days. What a relief!

Happy so far....
By Axel on 06/01/2011
Been using this product for 3 years. They come back and are relentless every June but this time I'm hitting it pre-emptively and so far so good. Very embarrassing to be sweeping window sills full of thousands weekly and hopefully will not swat on my new 55" LED TV. I start 4 oz every other day as soon as we get 3 days in a row over 80F. I stop during cold snaps. I bought 2 quarts and used them up and am buying 2 more quarts and use 1 more quart and go from there. I figure 3 quarts per year should keep me DF free. Its always the kitchen so treat there. If you find in other drains, OK, but home base is at the kitchen sink so use 90% gel there. Helps to eliminate food/coffee grains from from going to disposal in the first place.

Drain Files
By N22chandler on 07/06/2015
Recently I purchased this item b/c I found out what I thought was a fruit flies problem for yrs and I saw results in 1 week. I've tried multiple traps @ once and after realizing what it was I used bio derm and it didn't work and then I tried df5000 and saw results in days. One bottle worth is a full week of treating daily, so I recently bought two more bottles for the up keep. Since I still had a few flies and they have returned not as bad but more than a few after a week of not using I need to continue use I guess I really kill the area they live and breed in. I hope it doesn't break my pockets.

Thank you for your comments! We are glad that you have had success with your treatment. If you would like an alternative product that comes in a larger size, InVade Bio Drain is very similar to DF5000, and it is available in a gallon size: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/invade-bio-drain-p-352.html

Drain or Moth Flies
By Nancy on 02/27/2014
I had a bad case of drain flies in my kitchen from my drain backing up. I used this and it took care of the drain and the flies. I would recommend to any one with this situation to make sure there are no plants around the area of the drains because they also like to munch on them. I had to throw out two plants to rid my house of the remaining flies. I had two hibiscus plants I brought inside and when I treated the drain, they hid inside the pot of the plants.

Drain Flys are pretty much gone
By Anonymous on 07/01/2013
I am much happier now that I have used the gel for 3 days in a row. I have seen the difference in my home and bathrooms. I have 1 here and there during the week, but for the most part they are gone. I would recommend this to anyone. Those drain flies were driving me crazy and very embarrassing when I have fiends and or family over.

Very Affective N Great Price
By Luis on 08/02/2012
We use to use the Ecolab Drain Gel 12 Qt/cs Ecolab 51771. I decided to try DF5000 mostly because the price, $80 less than Ecolab's per case. It works as good as or better than Ecolab product. Would definitely recommend.

DF 5000 Drain Fly Gel
By Felicia on 05/26/2012
We were unsure, where the drain flies were coming from. First, I watched the video on how to use this product. I followed the instructions by purchasing and placing the glue traps on all 17 drains throughout our home. The first night, showed no captures. We called "DoMyOwnPestControl" and were told they could be coming from anywhere damp - didn't take much. We searched again without luck, so we decided to treat all 17 drains anyway which we did for 5 consecutive nights as recommended. After the 3rd night there was definitely marked improvement. After the 5th night we still saw a few, but again, definite improvement. We will maintain once a month as recommended and just hope they will be completely gone at some point. Of course, identifying the exact source is the best and certainly the most economical since using 4 ounces per drain is a lot of gel. But what we did helped and that was what we needed. Product definitely recommended.

By Dionne on 03/01/2015
I think it worked, I was in the process of using so much stuff to get rid of those pesky little critters so I cant say positively what worked. I do like it and will be using it in future, and at that time I will gladly let you know.

Drain Fly Dilemma
By Joan on 04/22/2012
After trying bleach, ammonia, vinegar, drain unclogger, and, desperate now, kerosene........finally found this product online. Waited by the mailbox every day until it arrived. And, yes, it worked much better than anything else. My only suggestion would be to buy 2 bottles, as one came close to totally eliminating the problem, but if I were to have this problem again, I would buy 2 bottles just to be sure that every last drain fly was gone.
Drain Flys
By Rox on 03/29/2012
After reading about DF5000 I figured i would try it! I receieved my order in just a few days and started trying it right away. It has worked great! I still have a few of them around but it is so nice to have the majority of the flies gone. The remaining ones are slowly going away as well. I am hoping that in the next week my house will be completely rid of the pests, I think this is a great product at a great price! Well worth trying!
Excellent Customer Service

Shipped fast!
By Mj on 12/08/2011
This company has always shipped my order on the day after I order, and I receive it two days after that. AWESOME service! Thanks, DoMyOwnPestControl.com! In the past, about five days of treatment with the DF5000 did the job, but not this year. This season, I had a MUCH harder time getting rid of the gnats because they seemed somewhat unimpressed by or immune to the DF5000 this time, so I had to use alternate measures after going through two bottles of DF5000.
Drain flies under control
By Juan on 08/16/2012
I ordered the Drain Fly Gel through Amazon. Shipping was super quick, 2days. I applied the gel in two drains as per the instructions. Within a couple of days after the first application, the flies were significantly reduced. At the end of the treatment the flies had dissappeared. I have tried other methods to control this situation-hardware store products, baking soda method-but this one gave me results. Thanks!
Drain Fly problem
By Matt on 10/23/2012
After a total renovation of my lake house I had a nasty drain fly infestation. DF 5000 did the trick in getting rid of them. I did not believe it was in my plumbing because it was all brand new. I put DF 5000 in the drains and noticed an effect imediately. Took awhile to get them all, but it works.

So far so good
By Sue on 10/08/2016
I bought this item because I was seeing, on a daily basis, tiny bugs in my bathtub which I assumed were coming up from the drain. They were diagnosed by an exterminator as baby waterbugs (not flies)'but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I followed the directions and continued to see the bugs after four applications, but it's been several days now without a sighting, so I am hopeful this product was successful. Time will tell, but I plan to continue monthly appplications per the directions.
